Camp

Camp Lightbulb is a magical week-long overnight summer camp experience for LGBT youth, aged 14 to 18, in Provincetown, MA. We celebrate LGBT young people by offering the best summer ever in a week of fun, pride, community, friends, support, self-discovery and memories to last a lifetime.

We reopen summer 2015 for our fourth summer, from 07/05 to 07/12, welcoming campers from across the US. Arrival day is Sunday July 5. Departure day is Sunday July 12. For campers travelling independently we can pick up at Provincetown Ferry, Bus Station and Airport. Our location in Provincetown is unique. Flanked by sweeping sea grass and magnificent dunes, Provincetown offers some of the country’s best beaches, a rich art scene and a mix of modern life and old-world charm. It is a place renowned for its welcoming environment as an LGBT summer haven, natural beauty and unique place in American history and as an artists' colony. In the past we slept in tents like the one below. This year we will be at the Truro Hostel, which we have booked for our exclusive use.

The camp offers 5 elements which take place at local venues and outdoors. Our camp makes full use of all that Provincetown has to offer and for the week of Camp we make the town our own. Exact programming is to be confirmed but includes:
